I suffered epilepsy attack in the year 2005 and since then I have taking medication i.e. eptoin 100 mg 1 tablet per day. But thereafter not suffered any seizure till today. Will it cause hurdle in my medical for student visa. As I am under medication till today but on a very marginal side. My medical is to be conducted on 20-10-2020. I am a bit stressed kindly help me out.
They will ask some general questions such as if u have taken medication for longer time in ur life such as for a period of consecutive two three months..so j have to lie and so No ... otherwise they can ask u to go for more tests as per ur answers..

I wouldn't advise someone to avoid taking medication prescribed by their doctor.
@Vickysharma: Their main concern is whether your condition poses a safety risk to others or is excessively expensive to treat. If you haven't had an attack in 15 years and your condition is under control with just one pill a day, then you'll be fine. Relax and act confidently in your answers.
If u r really concerned u can have those test from outside to see if everything is ok before going to ircc medical..just search for the test conducted for study visa and get them done from wherever u want ...if everything is alright then go for ur ircc medical ..if not than cancel or reschedule your appointment
They will do the following:
1 – take your blood to test for syphilis, aids and one more disease I can't remember the name of
2 – x-ray your lungs
3 – urine test
4 – weight, height, pulse
5 – send you to general doctor for an exam. There they will ask about any surgeries or meds you are currently taking. To speed up the process, I recommend bringing all reports you have about epilepsy. Worst case worst (which will not happen if lungs and other stuff is fine) you will be send for further examination. It can take up to 3 months to finish medicals if so happens. And they did it only because the x-ray for my husband was odd. Eventually he passed, don't worry. And yes, I don't recommend lying

From what I have heard and read, it should not matter unless it something extremely severe (like something that cannot be controlled) or if it's something contagious like like HIV.
I think you should be fine.
EDIT:
But do reveal your history, don't hide anything. And do mention that it's being controlled through medication and you have not suffered an attack since the last 15 years. They will clearly see that your epilepsy is under control and pass you.
That is incorrect. There are many conditions could lead to refusal. Assume kidney disease is the number one reason for refusal. I highly doubt that we’ll controlled seizures will lead to a refusal.

No you should not lie on your application. Misrepresentation can lead to being banned for years. Just be honest. Seizure medication can cause changes in your blood levels so it is best to be honest upfront versus having to explain why you lied after the fact.
